The outer styles look more like Judo or free styles because one can take legs, the inner styles are more like Greco Roman, but it is more like Sumo then Chin Na . In Tibet they use one of the inner styles.

What am I?:

I am ignorant, thieving, lying, hypocrital, violent and thoroughly self obssessed. I steal from others to make myself look better, only to make the item or information worse.
